A married couple, Adam Quincy Jones and Tammy Jo Jones, were named as suspects in the complaint. They are also due in Kent County District Court this afternoon for arraignment on state charges.

Tammy Jo Jones, who drove the truck, told authorities she robbed the bank because she was broke. When investigators jokingly asked if she bought rental insurance, she allegedly said: “No, I don't have any money. That's why I tried to rob a bank.”

Burns wrote in the complaint that Adam Jones, who also uses Matthew Thomas Jones as an alias, refused to talk to police. Tammy Jo Jones also told police that she didn't want to talk without an attorney.

She did say, after being asked why she would stop in front of a school with a gun in the truck, that she never saw the gun. She was too busy driving the truck, records showed.

During the holdup, the robber armed with a handgun jumped onto the teller counter, produced a dark bag, and ordered workers to fill it. He then ordered a teller to open the vault. He took cash from there, and ordered all bank workers into the vault, records showed.

Witnesses saw the fleeing robber unlock a bike from a nearby street sign. He rode it south across Four Mile and behind a strip mall.

Bank security contacted Kent County dispatchers. A sheriff's deputy soon spotted the rental truck, but the driver refused to stop. The chase extended from Grand Rapids to Grandville to Wyoming and back into Grand Rapids. Speeds were about 50 mph, the FBI said.

“At one point, the driver swerved at a Grandville police officer,” Burns wrote. “The driver also caused an accident with a law enforcement vehicle and a citizen. The driver drove on the wrong side of roads to avoid 'spike strips' which police deployed in an attempt to end the chase.”

The driver also went through several stop signs and red lights, police said.
The money started flying through the passenger window along 44th Street SW in Grandville. Police also saw clothes being thrown.

Police recovered about $59,383 from the chase route and the rental truck, records said.
